Comments Thread For: Marquez vs. Alvarado Set For 5/17 At The Forum in L.A.

[Iceta Lives]

I think he would too,provodnikov isn't fast like pacquiao so marquez would just hit him at will,and provodnikov is easy to hit,i think it's just that he's not interested in winning the title at 140,he's said this many times,he wants the title at 147 plus he's coming off a loss,i don't see why people are upset at him not facing provodnikov,not many fighters face quality guys 3 times in a row like this would have been if he faced him,manny,bradley and ruslan,he can take a fight like Alvarado if he wishes and then face the welterweight champion

Yeah, you got a point I guess, but this fight still sucks. Alvarado isn't that good. He isn't even better than Rios truth be told.

Well

I was thinking Marquez would fight Porter, but now Porter is fighting Malagnaggi. Bradley is figthing Pacman, Maidana is fighting Mayweather. Are there any more belts at 147?

Terms have been reached for a catchweight bout between Juan Manuel Marquez and Mike Alvarado. Representatives for both sides have confirmed that the bout will take place on May 17 at The Forum in Los Angeles.

I'm there, when/where can I purchase the tickets?!

While I like the fight because both are coming off losses, and because I obviously like my boy Alvarado getting this chance.......

It's sad as hell to see Marquez, who's one of the best of his era, blatantly avoid fighting the guy who beat Alvarado, which was Provonikov.

Not only that, but couldn't Marquez fight any legit Top 10 147 fighters????

I guess not. It's sad that aside from Pacquiao and Bradley, Marquez has fought horrid competition since 2010....absolutely horrid for his level of greatness.

I mean he's fighting guys like Fedchenko, Ramos, and now Alvarado (though he's a legit Top 10 fighter at 140, it's absolutely not a legit fight for JMM).....and people really want to complain about other guys fighting certain people???

Marquez is the ****ing man, and he's an ATG in my book. But aside from Pac and Bradley, his career has been a bit of a joke the last 3-4 years.

[Bermuda]

blatant duck by team marquez...just like how he avoided rios at 135....khan...etc...

[-PEZ-]

Don't know how I feel about this one.

Marquez Has Become Such A Real Puzzy Since His Lucky Punch On Pacquiao

Knows he was behind on all scorecards, just got dropped by Pac in the 5th , was out of gas when he landed a Hail Mary, whined after losing to Bradley, been complaining about the judges, begging for a Bradley rematch because Bradley can't hurt him, Pacquioa will knock him out in a 5th fight. He wouldn't fight Provo who called him out, still won't extend one rematch to Pac who gave him 4 fights, and now settles for Alvarado who's never beaten anyone and was just stopped at home by Provo. Tired of hearing from JMM and this Alvarado fight is ******.

[Vasyl’s dad]

whats the diff between Provo and Alvarado one is just further down the line in their career, after a couple more fights Provo is gonna be Alvarado. They are both come forward punching bags. See how many punches you can take fighters. (see how i didnt use the word BOXERS)

Yea, we noticed they aren't Black, so you won't consider them boxers even though they both are.

Yeah, you got a point I guess, but this fight still sucks. Alvarado isn't that good. He isn't even better than Rios truth be told.

Mike is bigger than anyone Marquez has fought. And probably h2h tougher than anyone Jmm has beaten excluding midget Pac. Unless he's ruined from all the back to back brawls, possible

[MrRolltide91]

decent fight
